So glad to hear it was helpful. This was definitely a learning process, as it was the first time organizing for all of us. We've gotten lots of feedback and are hoping to make it even better next year!

So glad to hear it! We left it up to the ninjas as to whether they revealed themselves. But we do encourage anybody who gets a request to ask the ninja agent who they are if they don't reveal it at that time.

I definitely recommend checking out the fundraiser. There are so many fabulous authors, agents, and editors offering their services. You've got about a week and a half left to snag a really reasonably priced critique.

"Muriel Spark is said to have felt that she was taking dictation from God every morning — sitting there, one supposes, plugged into a Dictaphone, typing away, humming. But this is a very hostile and aggressive position. One might hope for bad things to rain down on a person like this." — Anne Lamott

When do the fundraising perks become available for use? I bought a first ten pages perk and I'd like to know when we're expected to submit to them and how. I'll be a first time participant in the con.

You'll get an email letting you know when/how to submit for your critique. I purchased mine on November 2, then received my instructions on the 11th. I submitted a day later and got my 50-pager back within the week. Turnaround time depends on the critiquer's schedule.
